Olive Oil Infused With Garlic and Red Chili Flakes

This garlic and red chili flake infused olive oil is a simple yet powerful way to add depth and warmth to everyday dishes. As the oil rests, the minced garlic releases its aromatic richness while the red chili flakes gently infuse subtle heat throughout.

Allowing the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes gives the flavors time to meld, creating a balanced oil that is fragrant but not overpowering. The result is a savory, slightly spicy finish that can instantly elevate roasted vegetables, grain bowls, socca, pasta or even a slice of warm crusty bread.

A small drizzle goes a long way, adding brightness, gentle heat and complexity wherever it’s used. It’s an easy kitchen staple that transforms simple ingredients into something layered and memorable.
